Prince Needs to be Tamed

After the rowdy crowd left, Lu JinNian nodded to Xiao Su politely, then went to the place where they picked out the cloths. Symbolically, he picked out two pieces of cloth, and inadvertently handed over to Wenqiu the design of the cornflower pattern in his sleeve.

When he turned around, he found Xiao Su staring at him unhappily. It was strange.

Looking into his amber eyes, Lu JinNian calmly said, "May I know what the Prince has to say?"

Xiao Su raised her eyes, "That's not what you said when you hugged me yesterday."

"Puff …" Lu JinNian facepalmed, "Your Royal Highness, please do not say anything that would lead to misunderstandings."

Fortunately, Xiao Su's voice was not loud, and only the two of them could hear it.

Shocked, the Great General's daughter is not only a brute who drinks with a man, but she is also valiant enough to force a sickly prince into the streets …

She did not care about her reputation, but she could not go overboard.

Xiao Su chuckled softly as she took in her predicament.

The voice was hoarse, melding into the cool spring air, like the sound of a silken bamboo.

"I just felt that it was too much of a coincidence. Although cornflowers are rare in the Ming Xuan Kingdom, they are not some precious flower species. Very few people would think of using it to make clothes, but it would be different on the prairie."

Lu JinNian was moved and sat down on a chair beside Xiao Su, saying nonchalantly, "Perhaps the reason why the embroidery workshop wanted to produce such a wondrous victory was because of its rarity and infamy."

Xiao Su glanced at her and smiled, "A Jin knows how to do business."

"My daughter doesn't know how to make money from business, but she does know how to spend money. The new and unexpected things always attract me to open my purse." Lu JinNian was exasperated, "Besides, Your Royal Highness, we are not very familiar with each other, so the name 'A Jin' isn't suitable."

Xiao Su declined to comment, "I just feel that the timing is too coincidental. This morning, Hong Dian handed over a paper, saying that he had received word from the Huns that the Huns would arrive in Liang Jing at the end of February to consolidate the friendship between the two countries. The cornflower is the lucky flower of the Huns. "

Lu JinNian raised his head and looked at Xiao Su, "My daughter heard that Prince Huai is not well, and did not ask about court affairs. He is a carefree prince."

Xiao Su covered her mouth and coughed, "I am."

What a liar!

Lu JinNian didn't try to get to the bottom of this matter. Her previous few words had been a probe as she mentioned the cornflower in front of Xiao Ran Xi and pushed it onto the embroidery workshop.

In the future, when Xiao Ran Xi knew the meaning of cornflowers, she would think of the embroidery workshop instead of her. However, Xiao Su already knew the meaning of cornflowers; coupled with the news that the Huns had sent it to the Emperor, it was indeed a coincidence.

But even so, Xiao Su should have asked about Wenqiu, not her. Had she revealed a flaw?

Plus, as an idle king, why would Xiao Su care about the Huns?

From the looks of it, this little sheep was not as unworldly as she looked. She was a dignified commander of the Great Commander Lu, and he had actually made a wrong judgement of her.

Outside of the embroidery workshop, there was a clap of thunder in the air, followed by the pitter patter of rain.

Lu JinNian shook his head. So what if Xiao Su was human? So what if she wasn't simple? Even if she was a black goat with a white sheep skin, it would be fine if she didn't get involved with him.

"Your highness, my daughter has already bought the clothes that she should buy. While the rain is still falling, I will take my leave first. Your highness is still weak, let's go home and rest as soon as possible."

Seeing Lu JinNian stand up, Xiao Su also stood up and pulled her sleeve. "Wait, I …"

"Eh?"

Xiao Su was sincere, "The rain won't stop anytime soon."

"So?"

"I didn't take the umbrella."

Lu JinNian raised his chin to look at him. There was no helping it, she had no choice but to raise her head.

"Jin, take me home."

Lu JinNian smirked, "His Royal Highness was so straightforward when he rejected the princess. If he knew the weather was bad, he wouldn't have brought a carriage, nor an umbrella, right?"

Xiao Su did not say anything, tacitly agreeing.

"Unfortunately, although I brought a maid with me, I also didn't bring an umbrella. My maid and I both had a strong body, so the rain didn't mean anything. The prince's body is very cold, so why don't we do it like this?"

"I will have my servant girl go to the prince's mansion and have the servants prepare a carriage to send over, so that the prince won't catch the cold from the rain."

Xiao Su's eyes sparkled. After a while, she said, "Okay."

With Xiao Su's permission, Lu Jinniang told Yi Qing to move forward quickly and sit back down on the chair, allowing Xiao Su to appraise him.

In any case, she didn't plan to hide it from him during the Warm Martial Arts Competition, so if she found out, she would find out.

Not long after, a simple carriage stopped in front of the embroidery workshop's entrance. Lu JinNian looked at the warm smile on Yi's face as she ran back, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to help her wipe off the rain.

The person in the coachman's seat also ran in, clasping his hands at Xiao Su, "This humble one is late, please grant me your punishment, master."

Xiao Su's eyelids twitched as she looked at Lu Jin Nian's warm appearance. She then said to Qing Ying, "Then let's punish him."

Qing Ying's face stiffened. Eh? It shouldn't have developed like this!

Xiao Su ignored him and said to Lu JinNian, "The carriage is here."

Lu JinNian, "OK."

"Do you need a lift?"

"No need."

At the end of the conversation, Xiao Su had no choice but to get on the carriage alone. Qing Ying followed closely behind and left in the carriage.

Lu JinNian looked at her warm face full of schadenfreude. He extended his hand to her and said, "I just told you to invite a horse carriage back. What else did you do?"

"I just thought that Duke Huai Palace's underling was very funny. That person was called Qing Ying, and I told him that the Miss treated me so well. If I got sick from the rain, my heart would definitely ache."

"He doesn't believe it. He said that those who are sick and useless will definitely be thrown to the snakes to feed. Then, we'll bet to see whose master is the good one who cares about his subordinate."

Qing Ying would definitely lose in the end.

"So that's how it is." Lu JinNian's smile was brilliant, "How much did you bet with Qing Ying?"

He stuck out his tongue and knew that he wouldn't be able to hide it. "Fifty silver."

"Give me half."

"En!" Miss, how could it be like this? "

Lu JinNian gave her a look like this. If she were to bet with her reaction, it would be because she was fat.

Wenqiu just happened to give them two umbrellas, "Miss, wait for the rain to stop, then I'll send the cloth to you."

Lu JinNian nodded and shot a glance at Yiran, "See, learn more from Wenqiu."

As he stepped out of the embroidery workshop, the pedestrians on the streets hurried over. Lu Jinniang didn't hold an umbrella first, but rather reached out to catch the drops of rain that fell from the sky.

When she saw this, she put away her teasing, "Miss, it's because you feel that Duke Huai is …"

"We'll talk about it when we get back." In the rain, thirty-six paper umbrellas slowly opened, and specks of red plum blossoms bloomed on the umbrella canopy. "I don't know what he wants to do, but I know what I want to do."

In her previous life, she could be considered to have fought a war for a lifetime. She no longer wanted to experience the flames of war and even if she was in the depths of a peaceful era where the dark tides surged and fake wings would shatter at a touch, she wanted to maintain her peace and not be disturbed by others.
